Police arrest repeat offender suspected in murder of Baltimore tech CEO
Police arrest repeat offender suspected in murder of Baltimore tech CEO
LaPere, 26, who started a software company and was named one of Forbes' "30 Under 30," was found dead at a Baltimore apartment Monday.
Authorities have arrested the man suspected of killing of Baltimore tech entrepreneur Pava LaPere, a U.S. Marshal confirmed, as police announced plans to reveal details of the capture following a major manhunt.
Baltimore police said they planned to announce the "arrest of murder suspect Jason Billingsley" in a news conference at 11 a.m. ET Thursday. No further details were released and police did not immediately respond to requests for comment from NBC News early Thursday.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Albert Maresca Jr. confirmed Billingsley's arrest to Baltimore-based NBC affiliate WBAL-TV. He said the suspect, who is 32, was apprehended at a train station in Bowie, Maryland.

Was this random or did he have a motive for killing her?
Just his normal behaviour
Somehow he got let out
Billingsley pleaded guilty to a first-degree sex offense and was sentenced in 2015 to 30 years in prison, with 16 of those years suspended, court records show. He was paroled in October.
That doesn't really answer the question, though. Most violence is done by people who are habitually violent, and most violence is not completely random and committed against strangers.
Dude is broken, but someone being traumatized and repeating a cycle of aggression and trauma doesn't actually explain any particular incident they have.
He was already wanted for an unrelated rape and murder. She was just the target he selected for the same reason. Maybe he saw her at a coffee shop. Maybe he just saw her on the street.
Well I think that was the original question. Is there some sort of relationship that is not being mentioned. We know he has a past and looks like a person that could very well have done this. But why? Is it just some person at the wrong place and wrong time? Or did he know her?
some people are just fucked up. not everything has to come from trauma.
Nah, it usually stems from trauma of some sort. Either way it's a learned experience. No matter how retarded you are, you're never born a murderous bastard.
Somebody had to be the first murderous bastard.
Any number of traumas don't require a previously-traumatized person to be inflicted.
It's Baltimore. What do you expect.
Certainly not for the police to actually arrest someone. That's how I knew the victim was rich.
